Welcome to CT! I'm a CT native but moved out west for 20 years (Phoenix and then Austin) and returned back here 9 years ago - so glad to be back.

I am on my second 2-yr lease and highly recommend for the locked in rate, especially in this market.

Reply to Xpost from r/mattress, looking for reputable mattress retailer in central CT by skevthedev

We got our mattress from the Mattress Firm during COVID lockdown, and it was quite a pleasant experience. We loved a certain mattress in store and we asked if they have any overstocks for a better price and lo and behold, they did and were more than happy to sell the premium mattress at a discounted price and we love it.

ONE THING I WISH I THOUGHT ABOUT BEFORE THE PURCHASE -

Most mattresses now come with an adjustable frame. If you are buying a king, please consider if a split king may work better for you. We have a queen and I have awoken in the middle of the night practically upright because we do not have a split and someone is watching TV using the recline. Just a thought.

I love it so much, I had to stop and comment - beautiful. My husband is a photographer/artist, and he is a huge fan of Andy Goldsworthy - whose art is done mainly with all that nature has to offer, and he has been playing around with that and just loving the feeling. Always nice to see creatives being creative.
